How To Promote Your Book / Book PR and talks

Book PR aimed at the independent writer

Entertainment PR expert Diane Hinds recognised that so many writers who followed the less traditional routes lacked media coverage, reviews and improved sales.

How To Promote Your Book guides writers through the process of devising their personalised campaigns, with comprehensive information regarding research, targeting the audience, creating key message, as well as writing a press release and learning about its distribution. Writers will learn how to achieve these elements in an affordable way, delivering to the public sound public relations through a well thought out campaign.

Diane has also delivered this talk to libraries, literary festivals and Writer's Groups across California. She is accepting expressions of interest for book promotion and talks for 2019 and beyond.

PR Talks

In addition Diane has delivered over 100 talks throughout the UK at libraries, literary festivals and in California and Southern Nevada.

The London Library

“Dear Diane. Your event went out on our e-newsletter and sold out in a nanosecond! I was wondering if there was any chance you might be willing/able to do a second run of it as I’m sure we could easily fill another session? If so, perhaps you would be kind enough to suggest some dates?

Nicky Grigg, Lincoln Central Library

"Well thank you for taking the time to come and talk to people. You really inspired the attendees to go out there and promote their books, blogs and web pages. It was fantastic to watch, and I also got a lot out of it and gleaned some great ideas on how to promote our events for the future. Some of the older people booked with our computer buddies, asking for help with using computers and technology which was also encouraging to see.”

Sarah Smith, The Library @ Willesden Green

“ .. thank you too very much, Diane, for generously delivering cost-free two high quality events for our Autumn programme. I am so pleased w/ the response and take up by the local community.

Rebecca Robertson, Festival of Chichester
